Question DirecTV boxes - question about the outputs

I have the D11-300 DirecTV box. Do these boxes output on the coax and composite lines at the same time? For example, if you had two TV sets and one was connected to it by the coax and the other by the composite connections...would they both have video and sound at the same time?

I'm in the process of setting up SageTV again but only for the bedroom and I'd like to keep the living room TV off of SageTV. I was going to split the coax output on the box but if both outputs can function at the same time I'd like to just run the coax to the tuner in the server and connect the living room TV via the composite lines.

** EDIT **

I'm not at home to try it right now which is why I'm asking. I'm trying to kill my curiosity.

Hi,

I have owned 7 different D* set top boxes and every one of them has had simultaneous video output from every video output connector. Same with audio.

HTH

Thumbs up

I've had the time to try it and it does indeed work as I had hoped it would.

Thanks!
